Hi folks, I'm going to try and reword a question from another thread because I think I just confused folks.
I bought an old 93 Swift caravan as a starter, to see how we get on in the caravaning world,
The Huyton who sold it me was using it as a hideaway from his family so he could paint miniature models or something,
Anyway, he always used the caravan on the mains, and the lights etc work OK, same when I took it home,
The battery connected up to the charger/transformer was long dead,
So I bought a new one,
But soon as I connected the crocodile clips to the battery, the two 15amp fuses in the transformer blow, I've made sure the transformer is unplugged from the mains, and unplugged from the caravan, but still the battery blow those fuses,
Have I bought too much battery for such an old transformer?
The transformer says it's a 10amp
And the battery says it has an initial current of 30amp
I've forwarded the links to pictures of the battery and transformer if that helps anyone help me,

I thought maybe an upgrade of charger/transformer, but shopping around has left me confused as all the modern stuff looks nothing like my old one, my old one has a mains plug which plugs into a normal three pin household plug socket, (I assume this powers the charger from the 230v being fed from the mains) a red and black wire with crock clips on the end, and another plug and wire which leads to the rest of the caravans wiring and fuse boards.
The newer models I see, seem to have a kettle lead and red and black wire with spade connectors, I'm not sure how they would be compatible with an older van.
